[0028] Further, the turning control analysis component extracts the first, second, and Nth turning parameters according to the coordinates of the preset distance driving route, extracts the first, second, and Nth turning slope information according to the road slope information of the preset distance driving route, and processes the first, second, and Nth turning parameters and the first, second, and Nth turning slope information through the turning control configuration node of the turning control analysis component to obtain the first, second, and Nth recommended turning torque and turning speed, and adds the first, second, and Nth recommended turning torque and turning speed into the recommended turning torque and turning speed.

[0029] The curve parameter extraction node includes a curve separation channel and a curve parameter extraction channel trained with preset vehicle model driving data, and the curve separation channel and the curve parameter extraction channel are two convolutional neural networks connected in series; a preset distance driving road curve is constructed according to the preset distance driving route coordinates; the preset distance driving road curve and the preset distance driving route coordinates are fitted through the curve separation channel to generate a first curve and a first coordinate, a second curve and a second coordinate, and an Nth curve and an Nth coordinate; the first curve and the first coordinate are fitted through the curve parameter extraction channel to generate the first curve parameter, and the Nth curve and the Nth coordinate are fitted to generate the Nth curve parameter.

[0030] Specifically, the curve parameter extraction node is composed of two convolutional neural networks connected in series, including a curve separation channel and a curve parameter extraction channel, and the two channels work together to extract accurate curve parameters from the preset distance driving route coordinates; the curve separation channel and the curve parameter extraction channel are trained using data collected in various driving scenarios of a preset vehicle model to ensure that they can accurately identify and separate the curves in the road and extract the related curve parameters; according to the preset distance driving route coordinates, an interpolation or curve fitting technique is used to construct a preset distance driving road curve, which can reflect the curve of the road shape; the constructed preset distance driving road curve and the corresponding route coordinates are input into the curve separation channel, the curve separation channel processes the road curve in segments, identifies and separates each independent curve part, and outputs a series of separated curve curves and their corresponding coordinates, i.e. the first curve and the first coordinate, the second curve and the second coordinate, and the Nth curve and the Nth coordinate; each pair of curve and coordinate is input into the curve parameter extraction channel, and the curve parameter extraction channel further analyzes the curve to extract detailed parameters of the curve to obtain the first curve parameter to the Nth curve parameter.

[0031] Further, according to the first curve parameter, the second curve parameter to the Nth curve parameter, combined with the first curve slope information, the second curve slope information to the Nth curve slope information, the turning control configuration node of the turning control analysis component is processed to obtain the first curve recommended torque and the first curve recommended turning speed, the second curve recommended torque and the second curve recommended turning speed to the Nth curve recommended torque and the Nth curve recommended turning speed, including:

[0032] The turning control analysis component includes a plurality of turning control analysis sub-components, wherein the number of turning control analysis sub-components is at least 5 and at most 7; the first curve parameters and the first curve slope information are fitted according to the plurality of turning control analysis sub-components to generate a plurality of first curve initial torques and a plurality of first curve initial turning speeds; the plurality of first curve initial torques are fully connected and fused to generate the first curve recommended torque, and the plurality of first curve initial turning speeds are fully connected and fused to generate the first curve recommended turning speed; wherein the full connection fusion fits the input data through a preset data fusion rule.

[0033] The turning control analysis component includes a plurality of turning control analysis sub-components, with a number ranging from 5 to 7, each of which works independently to ensure the diversity and accuracy of the analysis. Each turning control analysis sub-component will fit the first curve parameters and the first curve slope information to generate a plurality of first curve initial torques and a plurality of first curve initial turning speeds; according to the preset data fusion rule (such as weighted average), the plurality of first curve initial torques are fully connected and fused to generate the first curve recommended torque; similarly, the plurality of first curve initial turning speeds are fully connected and fused to generate the first curve recommended turning speed.

[0034] The recommended turning torque and the recommended turning speed are sent to the driving display interface for visual display, and are also sent to the motor control analysis unit of the auxiliary electronic control unit of the auxiliary EPS module, to obtain the motor predicted steering and the motor predicted speed, wherein the auxiliary EPS module refers to the EPS module that is not in the steering assistance starting state.

[0035] By sending the recommended turning torque and the recommended turning speed to the driving display interface (such as the instrument panel, the HUD head-up display, or the central control screen), the driver can view the upcoming turning parameters in real time, helping the driver understand the recommended driving strategy under the current road conditions. At the same time, the recommended turning torque and the recommended turning speed are also sent to the auxiliary electronic control unit of the auxiliary EPS (electric power steering) module of the vehicle, wherein the auxiliary EPS module refers to the EPS module that is not currently in the steering assistance starting state; the auxiliary electronic control unit will calculate the motor predicted steering and the motor predicted speed with a curve position label according to the received recommended turning torque and the recommended turning speed, in combination with the current state of the vehicle (such as speed, steering angle, etc.) and the performance parameters of the motor (such as torque output range, speed limit, etc.), to ensure that the vehicle can travel along the recommended path, and the motor predicted speed refers to the speed that the motor should reach when providing steering assistance, to ensure the smoothness and responsiveness of the steering.

[0036] When entering the preset distance driving route, the steering wheel torque sensor and the vehicle speed sensor are used to obtain the steering wheel torque monitoring value and the vehicle speed monitoring value.

[0037] When the vehicle enters the preset distance driving route, the steering wheel torque sensor and the vehicle speed sensor are used to obtain the steering wheel torque monitoring value and the vehicle speed monitoring value, in order to ensure that the vehicle can travel according to the expected driving strategy and adjust in real time to adapt to the changes in the actual road conditions.

[0038] When the steering wheel torque monitoring value is consistent with the recommended turning torque, and the vehicle speed monitoring value is consistent with the recommended turning speed, the auxiliary electronic control unit switches to control the auxiliary motor through the motor predicted steering and the motor predicted speed.

[0039] When the steering wheel torque monitoring value is consistent with the recommended turning torque, and the vehicle speed monitoring value is consistent with the recommended turning speed, it can be judged that the vehicle is currently in a stable and expected driving state; in this case, in order to reduce the burden on the driver and improve the accuracy and responsiveness of steering, the auxiliary electronic control unit will switch to control the auxiliary motor according to the motor predicted steering and the motor predicted speed.

[0040] Further, when the steering wheel torque monitoring value is inconsistent with the recommended turning torque, or / and the vehicle speed monitoring value is inconsistent with the recommended turning speed, the main EPS module continues to control the main motor for steering assistance control through the main electronic control unit of the main EPS module. The main EPS module refers to the EPS module in the steering assistance starting state.

[0041] When the steering wheel torque monitoring value is inconsistent with the recommended turning torque, or the vehicle speed monitoring value is inconsistent with the recommended turning speed, or both the steering wheel torque monitoring value and the vehicle speed monitoring value are inconsistent with the recommended turning torque and the recommended turning speed, the system will maintain control of the main EPS module, that is, continue to control the main motor for steering assistance through the main electronic control unit. The main EPS module is the steering assistance system currently used by the vehicle, which is already in an activated state and is ready to adjust the steering assistance according to the driver's intention and the actual state of the vehicle; the main electronic control unit will dynamically adjust the assistance size of the main motor according to the actual deviation of the steering wheel torque monitoring value and the vehicle speed monitoring value.

[0042] Further, it also includes:

[0043] A redundant motor control analysis unit is deployed in the automobile control center; when the auxiliary electronic control unit fails, the motor predicted steering and the motor predicted speed are predicted through the redundant motor control analysis unit.

[0044] In order to ensure the reliability and stability of the steering assistance function, especially in the face of sudden situations such as electronic control unit failure, a redundant motor control analysis unit can be deployed in the automobile control center. The redundant motor control analysis unit is used to perform motor predicted steering and motor predicted speed prediction when the main electronic control unit (such as the main electronic control unit of the main EPS module) is working and the auxiliary electronic control unit (such as the auxiliary electronic control unit of the auxiliary EPS module) fails. In normal driving state, the main electronic control unit is responsible for controlling the main motor to perform steering assistance control, and the auxiliary electronic control unit is in standby state, ready to take over control when the main electronic control unit fails. The redundant motor control analysis unit continuously monitors the state of the entire system, but does not directly participate in control. When it is detected that the auxiliary electronic control unit fails, the redundant motor control analysis unit will be activated immediately to take over the task originally responsible by the auxiliary electronic control unit, that is, to perform motor predicted steering and motor predicted speed prediction.

[0045] Further, switching the auxiliary electronic control unit to control the auxiliary motor through the motor predicted steering and the motor predicted speed for steering assistance control further includes:

[0046] When the auxiliary motor is in a failure state, the motor predicted steering and the motor predicted speed are sent to the main EPS module to perform steering assistance control.

[0047] When it is detected that the auxiliary motor is in a failure state, a failure switching mechanism is triggered immediately to send the motor predicted steering and the motor predicted speed to the main EPS module to perform steering assistance control. By establishing the failure switching mechanism, the continuity and reliability of the steering assistance function can be ensured in the face of sudden situations such as auxiliary electronic control unit and auxiliary motor failure.

[0048] In summary, the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects:

[0049] Firstly, the number of bends of a preset distance driving route is identified; when the number of bends is greater than or equal to a bend number threshold, the preset distance driving route coordinates are sent to a road network cloud, and target area map data is received, wherein the target area map data includes preset distance driving route road slope information. Then, the preset distance driving route road slope information and the preset distance driving route coordinates are sent to a turning control analysis component to generate recommended turning torque and recommended turning speed. Further, the recommended turning torque and the recommended turning speed are sent to a driving display interface for visual display, and are also sent to a motor control analysis unit of a secondary electronic control unit of a secondary EPS module to obtain motor predicted steering and motor predicted speed, wherein the secondary EPS module refers to an EPS module that is not in a steering assistance starting state. Finally, when entering the preset distance driving route, a steering wheel torque sensor and a vehicle speed sensor are used to obtain a steering wheel torque monitoring value and a vehicle speed monitoring value; when the steering wheel torque monitoring value is consistent with the recommended turning torque, and the vehicle speed monitoring value is consistent with the recommended turning speed, the secondary electronic control unit controls the secondary motor to perform steering assistance control. The technical problem of the prior art that the steering assistance control is difficult to meet the rapidly changing steering demand under complex terrain due to hysteresis, resulting in reduced steering control safety is solved, and the technical effect of improving steering control safety is achieved by real-time monitoring and adaptive switching of the secondary electronic control unit.
